One of the best of 1993

+ ringing brit pop rules

Ahhh, my freshman year in college. An introduction to Servedriver, Velocity Girl, 13 Engines, etc and of course, FLOP. This album turned out to be one of the real sweethearts of my deck. It's a true american original. The album can be incredibly soupy at times but A Wylie, Julie Francavilla, ...

The Records

Blue Plate Caroline, 1995

Important Recording In Power Pop Field

+ Breaking The Records
+ Catchy tunes, one hit, good music

Harmonies, melodies, and hooks...What's not to like? If you like so called "power pop" this recording is quite important as it sounds like what The Raspberries would had they been British. In my opinion this is high praise since, like the Raspberries, The Records were criminally underated yet ...

Badfinger

Capitol, 1991

A Good Album!

+ Badfinger Boogie, Mal Evans discovery

Magic Christian Music was the first album to bear the Badfinger name, though 6 of the songs on the album are in fact old Iveys recordings that had already been released on the Maybe Tomorrow album. Some of the recordings were done with Paul McCartney, and he obviously helped the band create their ...

The Grass Roots

Still cool in my book

+ The doors -very good songs

This group is just as relevant today as when I was younger. Even though I like music coming out now. Quaility bands never go out of style.

Material Issue

Polygram Records, 1994

MI's best and most underrated

One can draw many parallels between Material Issue and the Smithereens. Their first/early albums focused on typical boy-meets-girl-is-later-alienated-and-gets-jealous themes and featured uncluttered production and clean guitar tones. Later works found them cranking up the Marshalls and getting a ...
